Hey, loser, your mom called Jes said globe Globe won day. You'll
be more haunted by those words than I am. Why aren't you crying?
I wish I could cry. Tears would cleanse my soul. Oh, now
you're very brief. Go ahead beat me up. Maybe then I'll feel something.
Whoa forefinger discount dude, Welcome to forfigure discount where. This week we're
going to be reviewing episode six of season nineteen of The Simpsons. It is
a little often Millie. I'm Dando, and I am going we correct.
It's a Millhouse of a side. What a shock. I certainly did not
see that coming, But yeah, we've got a mill House episode. I
thought it is one of the more enjoyable Millhouse episodes we've had in a while,
because I liked seeing him as the cool kid and not when he thinks
he's cool. But is it still a dog? It's no. People genuinely
liked Millhouse. This is the first time I've seen people actually like Millhouse,
genuinely liked Millhouse or intrigued by him. Because this is a it's a one
to eighty degree shift. We're our favorite Dorcas Malocus, our favorite nerd what
else point dexter? Poindexter the dud, that's dud. Don't you feel bad
for someone whose actual surname is Poindexter? Is the people whose neck surname is
that. There's an actor named Larry Poindexter. I've seen him pop up in
a few eighties movies, and he's just an average, straight looking guy.
He's got a fake Hollywood name. No, well, why would you call
yourself Larry Point? You're going to be memorable, aren't you? That's true?
It was that was stick? Did you have like a He didn't have
stick. He was just a guy, just a guy, Okay, Yeah,
he just played like bureaucrats or diplomats. I saw him in a couple
of action movies, and it was usual the guy who said, hey,
American ninja, they've got raids in this country, what about the race of
that little girl? Something like that? Actually no, no, he wasn't
like he was like this. Actually no, he was nothing like He was
a nothing like that. That was the American ninja who was saying, what
about the race that girl? He was the guy who would he was the
Walter Peck. He was the guy who would try to keep people on the
straight and narrow, so I guess he was aptly named. But I blame
young EMC for this that so I do for many things. You know,
standing on the wall like you were, pointdexter, suddenly everyone goes point texter.
What a name the thing is? Though whenever someone who grew up in
the nineties, he's the word point dexter. And I think at the Simpsons
it feels like it's a word at the Simpsons coin which I obviously didn't,
but it just feels like it's associated with the Simpsons. Point dex days the
word. I'm going to do some googling here, which is going to make
for fascinating content, particularly if we're talking or at the rate that you google
things. P O no, G. Well, first of all, G
double o G. Oh wait a minute, I'm googling Google into Google.
I remember the first time I showed my mum Hayted have to type the full
address. You can just type Google and it would come up. She was
like, what, I don't have to type www htt bag lass. That
changes everything. But as you said, being a child of the nineties,
I was not a child of the Nartis, and we're a child or even
teenager of the eighties, and I'm gonna think that there might have been a
Poindexter in the movie Revenge of the Nerds that would make sense. Was it
this guy? Was it Walter Peck whatever? You n't Pointdexter Revenge of the
Nerds? Which one was he? He was the guy with the red hair
and the thin glasses. I haven't seen those films for so long. I
remember them peeping through the with the hole in them? Was that Revenge of
the Ners people through the who in the shower saying you watched it now?
And gay, I feel awkward watching this At the time when I was a
kid, I felt like, oh, this is funny now watching go,
I'm a PERV. Before we had canceled culture. Revenge of the Nerds was
the first one to get canceled. Was that really? Oh? I had
a lot of people from the eighties revisiting it a little later and go,
these guys are sex criminals, sex pests. Nerds absolutely, but also sex
criminals, not pest criminals. There was a legitimate sex crime in the movie.
Yeah, not good. Yeah, someone would actually get arrested and maybe
he sent to jail for this. We shall not be reviewing Revenge of the
notes on the movie guys, we don't have trouble with the no worries.
Yeah, that's more youthful hydis. We had enough trouble with youthful hyjienks compared
to sexual crime. Then we didn't enough trouble with American Pie. We were
like, should he really be putting the naked girl on the internet? That
was I forgot how problematic that was, the fact that they didn't Actually,
there's no repercussions for it. Everyone's watching this shit getting naked and you just
never hear anything of it again. It's like, excuse me, what now?
Please tune into the movie guys talking about American Pie where we discussed this
topic and I don't know, more fun stuff. But yeah, but I
didn't mind this episode. The b plot right with Homer trying to work out
Marge's eyes. I thought it was fine for a B plot because at least
he was still he was trying to make the effort. I feel like in
recent times he might have just gone, we'll screw you on going to Mo's
and and then sort of later on going because when she said I'm not going
to let you see my eyes until you guess he would have gone, skow
you, I'm going to go to Moe's later on, would have gone,
oh you know what, I probably should make an effort from the get go.
Here. He just wanted to try and make an effort. Yes,
it felt very much like a traditional sitcom b plot where there is nothing to
accept, this misunderstand you can keep coming back to it, and it just
sort of kept the story fine. Yeah, Yeah, she's going to hold
a grudge justifiably. So. Yeah, although we'll talk about that in a
second. And he's going to be going through various stages of either trying to
work it out or what's the point or something like that. Did he have
what's the point? Mom mate? I think he did. Yeah, maybe
he didn't. You're right. He was more a lot disappointed in himself that
he couldn't figure it out, or frustrated with frustrated with himself. Yeah,
and we've discussed recently. I'm not sure what podcast it was. We do
too many here for you just get a network so many that you always forget
your family's birthdays, right, Oh yeah, I guess you should probably remember
a bit more because you're looking at your spouse more like every single day or
every moment if you like, just about. But still I can still buy
into the fact that Homer might not actually remember. Oh yeah, look,
by this stage of the proceedings, I know Lew's face as well as I
know my own. Yeah, I am ninety five percent sure that her eyes
are a lovely sort of copper chestnut. Be saying there's a chance at their
hazel, I'm saying there's a five percent chance that they're green. They break
I got on Instagram before God damn it cut out. But also the story
here of Millhouse's parents being back together, I thought it was nice seeing him
get along. I usually don't like when they just revert back to sort of
not status quo. But you know, it's been how many seasons now,
Season eight was Milhouse Divided. So this is our season, nineteen eleven years
on. Ye, I know they're hooked up again. I think it was
last season. This is the first time I've really seen them sort of getting
along together as a family kind of thing. I because they got they got
together in the episode where she found Marge's bra that's right in Kirk's room,
and then there was just nothing spoken about against like, are they still together,
so they're clearly still together. It was just nice thing to I didn't
mind the fact that I like their dynamic as a family when they're not at
odds. So I thought that Kirk as a bachelor who's depressed nois sad had
run its course. Yeah, by this point it was certainly good for a
few gags, going to be really good gags. Yeah, every character is
pathetic on the show, now, that's true. You want to have certain
characters that specialize empathetic but not but also specialize in different kinds of pathetic.
Because we like Kirk, I think we relate to Kirk in many ways in
the way things just don't go his way. We don't want him to be
so pathetic all the time. I don't know. I feel like him and
Luando a good match. Yeah, I think you have a resident Springfield sad
sack in Guilill. Yes. So, anytime you want to make someone into
an absolute human punching bag or pinata gills, your man gills down for the
job. I think Kirk is going to be pathetic and put upon in certain
circumstances, and it's usually to doe with a long term relationship breaking down and
re entering bachelorhood or a middle aged single man who's completely out of his depth.
And you're right that that kind of gag is going to run out of
a run out of petrouble relatively quickly. Well, it feels like now any
character who is not in a relationship just feels like a bit of a punch.
It feels like a Gill Gunners And now they're just they're they're losers.
Comic book guys a loser. Gill is a loser, Moe is a loser.
They're all just depressed, sad, sad. That's true. But I
think Comic book Guy and Mo and Gil they're all sad for specific reasons,
or they've got very distinct flavors of sad. See Combook Guy never used to
feel sad because he didn't give a shit either, and because he was sort
of it was sad the life that he leads because we thought, well,
what a pathetic life. But he's like, I think, give a shit,
I'm happy being a nerd. Well, every once in a while he
would sort of have these moments of self awareness. Was that that you must
be a define with the leaders. Yeah, I mean, you don't want
to keep nailing home the point it's like, oh, this guy's a big,
sweat, smelly loser because the way he hides his embarrassment is with just
being snarky all the time. So it was a nice thing. Brought down
a few times himself in comic book Law and the absolute destruction of a wheelbag
full of tacos. Who among who among us cannot relate? I know right
now, go a marathon with endless tacos. Holy shit, the dream is
the actual dream. Yeah. But as I was saying, though, Kirk
just feels so sad. Now, however, you see me just like this
guy, like, get him off my screen, such a loser. It's
nice seeing him happy again. And they're getting along. They are yeah.
Now the end, he was a bit like, okay, you just sort
of rund of ideas. What it felt very much like they'll see by oh
let's see more. But listen with that there it was almost like the gag
was this is ridiculous, we can't come up with anything. But he felt
like we're trying to come up with something and we didn't. What are they
doing going around the world? What the fun is going on? What I
was reminded of throughout this episode. Is that the title of McBain's life comedy
set, Let's Get Silly? Or is that his movie? It's one of
the two. Yeah, Let's Get Silly. That's it felt like the mandate
in the writer's room of this episode was let's get silly. Yeah, and
what way? What do you mean? There's a lot of ideas that they
don't quite fit together. I always say this about episodes where it feels like
a lot of episodes. I mean we've got parts, we're awkwardly smushing them
together. They sort of fit, but they don't really. I mean,
a strong breeze is going to blow this thing apart? Yeah, well I
think you had They had the idea for Millhouse to be like a how did
you define him? What was he a take off of? Well, it's
like it's like a rebel at cour It's very much a James denc the misunderstood
loner who's you know? And his disengagement from the world in this kind of
is what's the word I'm looking for? It's not on Weir. It's sort
of nihilism. Yeah, but that whole fit is the bad not the bad
boys, the misundersto Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought it worked.
I didn't mind. Yeah. Look as someone who was not going to be
a jock or a punk rocker or anything like that. At a it's like,
you just don't get me, man, that's that was going to be
the beat me up. Then I feel something, Yeah, that's and listen,
Oh, there is a certain kind of person that that is cat net
for. Who would be that character in Breakfast Club? Was there one of
those in Breakfast Club? Not really in Breakfast Clubs, it's sort of in
a nineties film, what would you it's sort of Bender. Yeah, but
yeah, I mean it's like if Anthony Michael Hall played Bender, not the
future Ama Bender. We're knowing about the Joe Nelson by the words a documentary
starting this weekend that you'll probably enjoy called Brats Okay about the Brat Pack.
Oh okay, No, I didn't know about it. Yeah, I stif
watched the Jim Henson documentary. Yet I'm about fife. I feel so bad.
I like having things to look forward to. I've said this in the
podcast before. I love It's just like, oh, this is out,
I'm going to watch this. And then I was like, but if I
watch it, then I would have I would have to look for to anymore.
So even stored up. You know, God, God forbid you'd hit
by a car. Tomorrow you won't have seen Jim Henson ideas man from our
friends at Disney Plus, Friend of the Pod. Yeah, so yeah,
maybe do it. I'll get on there, don't worry. I think I
think it starts on Disney Plus this weekend. If not, it certainly starts
on the American version Hulu. I thought it was gonna be like a Toys
that made us about the Brat's toy line. That's what I like, What
are you done with here? I don't know, I don't know your secret.
Shame sort of shame at all, my little pony. Yeah but yeah,
directed by Andrew McCarthy, Starry Mamny, members of the Brat pack.
Yes, okay, yeah, So they had the idea for Millhouse to be
you know, James Dean type, and I thought, we can't really flesh
this out. They're throwing a b plot. This Homer forgetting Marge's ico is
definitely something that's just been sitting on a notepad for a while. Where can
we fit this in? I thought they sort of fit them in. They
didn't. They sort of they didn't go together, I guess, but they
were seamless. Still they branched off. Yeah, they didn't feel disjointed.
And anyway, Eye Color one branched off the marriage incident. Yeah, I
guess pretty well because because Millhouse was living with the Simpsons, you can keep
going back to that story. And I like the fact that whenever my Aham
would leave, Marge'll take the glasses off. Oh yeah, just the continuity
there. I didn't. I like that because I'm sitting there thinking if she
keeps these glasses on for the whole episode, even when home's like there,
that'd be silly. As soon as I leaves, glasses come off. Yeah.
Dandel likes continuity. Yeah. One thing they also do. Like in
season nineteen. So every season I feel like we've been watching recently, there's
a recurring gag right. So season eighteen it felt it was the sideshow,
mel I'm going to see something outrageous in every episode gag right, quite outrageous.
Yes, this season season nineteen so far, it's the we're going to
name things for a while and until the person to the point where someone goes,
will you stop saying words and saying names? They did it again in
this episode they did actually with the the I was saying all ocean related breakfast
products and things like that. Yeah. See, this just keeps going.
Oh it's the same, same, gag. I actually don't mind it,
but you do like a good every single episode though it gets annoying after all,
that's true, but it also feels like the a good idea for you,
gag. I mean, it's got a really rock solid foundation of like,
I can't stop saying things that are gonna hurt this person's feelings. But
when you do every episode, Yeah, and also when you just do it
in a very perfunctory fashion, like I'm just gonna keep naming things, I
mean, find ways to connect the things rather than just But for me,
it's the fact that they always end it with someone saying will you stop saying
things? Yeah? I enjoy that for some reason. But again, you're
right, it's getting too repetitive. I mean I do like, yeah,
for some reason, I do like stop saying things. Okay, I find
that funny. For me, I enjoyed the first time, and maybe the
second time, kind of the third time. Fourth time, I'm kind of
done with it. I get where you're coming from. Yeah, I hotly
understand. Also, this episode spawned the iconic Marge Crump meme, So Marge
joined the Crump dance is a really iconic just a still shot. We're gonna
have to redefine our meaning of the word iconic because that wasn't really sure?
Is it's huge in the Simpsons meme worth the Marge Crump massive Like it's not
quite on steamed hands level, but it's just that shot. It's up there.
Would you like to know what I learned this weekend? What a crump
is? Well, not so much what crump is, but what it stands
for. What does the stand trump is actually an acronym for what I wrote
this down? Okay, Kingdom radically uplifted, mighty praise. How's that happening?
Yeah, that's That's what I was curious about as well. Was that
is that in relation to the dance? Is that just the word crump?
It is a little it's a little backstory, a little backstory for you,
Lovely. Luis and I were watching a documentary on Netflix called Dancing with the
Devil where these kids come out to La and I want to be a dancer.
The only way that people dance these days is on TikTok and things like
that. They get sort of roped into this cult slash church. And let
me rewind that they get roped into this church slash cult. I was like,
we're gonna, you know, we're gonna be a management company as well,
and we're gonna put you on TikTok and make you famous and all this
kind of stuff, and we're gonna take a huge amount of your money to
do so. And yeah, and a lot of them are like, well,
you know, I wanted to sort of get back to God, but
I also want to dance and be famous and you know, be on TikTok
and all. This is the best of both Wolks. It was the worst
of both worlds, I can imagine. Yeah, but it sounds like a
Schemes cartment would run though very much. But there's a lot of crumbers,
crumpers. I was about to say crumpet. Crumpets just seems like the obvious
one, right, you would say that, but I supposed to do with
crump It needs to be it'd be crumpets with a K and double T crumpets.
What you We're not trying to be sort of gender divisive. These days.
I mean, you know, we don't really compeits. You don't say
actress that much anymore, do you. Regardless, you have the Crumpers and
the Crumpet, Yes, but the Marge crump very iconic in the Simpsons the
mean world. Okay, well but apparently crumping yeah, got it? Quite
can have a quite a religion component to it. That's what That's what it
stands for, according to the one person anyway. But then person over ditam
also the Internet. The Internet. This, by the way, listener slash
viewers, this is another reason why you need to stop saying The Simpsons ended
at season ten because the March, crump Stuper sexy Flanders. There are so
many iconic moments that came the what was the one with Homer? The three
money, all these iconic memes that you guys throw around on a daily basis
came after season ten. So stop bitching, which are bitchin? What have

I also really enjoyed. Actually, let's get the favorite moments. Well,
say you're saying everything that you enjoy Yeah, yeah, you're just you're burning
through your favorite moments. Hey, my favorite one of the final things that
I enjoyed. Right, Well, are we officially in favorite moments? Yes
we are. Indeed, you just heard the music in your head was editing
in camera? Okay? Good? Saving Private Ryan the parody? Right?
Oh yes, I like this because this felt like a classic Simpsons parody where
as a kid, you will have no idea what they're going for here,
but they do it in the way where you go, I know it's something,
Yes, I don't know what it is, and when you're old enough
you look it up and go, oh, it's saving Private Ryan. That's
what you used to do. As a nineties kid, you'd see all these
references on The Simpsons and go, I don't know what's going on here,
but I know it must be something. And then you get older and you
go, oh, that's what that was. Yeah, that's what kids at
this time in his first aired would have got a bit older and going,
oh, it's Saving Private Ryan. That's cool. I've never rewatched Saving Private
Ryan. I saw it once at the cinema. I like, I don't
think I even need to see this again. Not because it was too harrowing,
wasn't it. It was just kind of a drag. Yeah, I
real watching. I didn't. I saw it on TV for the first time.
So when it first aired on TV, Steven Spielberg and the Greatest Generation
Wagliff that was the point guy. But the opening scene I were watching on
TV, going, I don't think I can do much more of this Like
that opening ten minutes is unbelievable. It's unbelievable in both good and bad way.
Yeah. I mean, you have never been morely thrust into the into
the chaos of war, unless, of course you actually went to war.
Thank you for your service. Yes, uh so that part of it is
too grueling, and part of the rest is just kind of this kind of
slog and I'm not really that into it. So someone told me that they
think Dunkirk is better than Saving Private Ryan, and I didn't agree. I
would agree, you would in what way? I don't know. I was
just more drawn into Dunkirk. I thought it was I want it was better
filmmaking. Although, like I said, I think Saving Private Ryan kind of
not falls off the cliff after the Normandy scene, but the rest of us
going like I guess, I wonder if twenty years of technology advancement helped Dunkirk.
Maybe Dunkirk also Tom Hardy, who I find dreamy? What about Tom
Hanks? Though? Which time are you going for Hardy or Hanks crows?
Let me go? What else did you enjoy for this episode? Oh,
Holly's just walked in. Hello, Holly, Holy, come in, Holy.
You want to say hello, it's beautiful a color because I'm looking at
it. Holly's got a cough, so she's home at the moment. Come
inside, Holley, we come say hello, Come, come say hello.
Uncle Guy comes on Dadd's knee. Ah. She says she's going for a
way and she tricked, Mommy, Holly, come here. So we did
you dube your mum. Did you trick mummy? Yeah, Holly, come
here, sweetheart, come here, clever, careful of the light switch.
There we go. You wanna sit on Dad's knee, but don't dig away,
don't don't we on dad's knee? All right? Say hi for guy?
You say hi? Are you nervous? You always want to always she
always says, where's that good guy? You never say that? You never
said that? Do you want to say hello? And do you want to
go back to mummy? What do you want to do? Get back to
mummy? She's all nervous. Get this guy away from creepy. She's like
her lesson, no more tricky Mummy. You end up in the room and
like a guy. Yeah, it's very accurate. Doesn't make it any less
hurtful. So what did you enjoy? I forgot because Holly walked in?
Well, I was about to say. I sympathize with Homer for many reasons,
and empathize with Homer for many reasons. But is beautiful a color?
Feels like the kind of thing that I would say, Oh, I love
that line. Actually, yeah, it's I know it was meant to be
funny, but it's it's a good line. It is. It feels like
something I would I send you a message. Actually, there's a song I
was listening to just came up with my feed and there was like a comment
that said, I feel like this song would be what the color yellow sounds
like. And I was like, that's a really cool. Comment on a
YouTube was that it was a song yellow by Coldplate. Now it was put
your record on or whatever, and I'm like, this does feel like what
yellow would sound like, warm, inviting, sunny, sunny. Yeah,
I just when eleven am sunshine coming through your window. Yes, exactly right.
But yeah, I just thought the Homer saying is beautiful color. I'm
like, that's both funny and accurate. It's also it is the kind of
dodge that I would use, because Homer not I love when home is not
being a jerk, You're just being an idiot. But it's like a lovable
idiot is like it's beautiful a color. That's a genuine way a guy would
try and get out of this is absolutely you look great. How do I
look in at stress? They both look good. You never want to be
us? How do I look into stress? It's like, um, you
know you don't want to say dot my honest answer go, I think you
look amazing. Always just go with that it's the true. Always preface with
I think, because yes, it's always going to be true. Yeah.
Uh. And when yes, you're given a choice between two they both look
great, preface it with they both look great, and then offer your honest
opinion. Se when when your spouse, your partner. When Nichola says to
me, how do I look into stress? I always say I'm terrible fashion.
You know, I think you look amazing, but don't go by me.
And it's an out because I have no idea what fashion is and I'm
saying this is beautiful. So that's my out. Like, consider the source.
Look at my most like T shirt were now Uncle Rico dot com use

was thinking if I'd created like spider Burps, if I'd done that thing where
you know, I put that's actually host around, spiders come out and then
spiders run a mark and they come out of baby burps a lot that that
should be like a boy version of a doll, like where creepy shit comes
like burps, like something creepy comes out or whatever. You can sort of
like. Isn't that the Garbage Power Kids or things like that. I don
never owned one of those. I remember the Cabbage Patch Kids, but Garbage
Power Kids actually a toy or just a trading card set. I thought they
might have actually made toys. Okay, there was certainly a Garbage Pail Kids
movie. Fun fact our pal Jim Cummings voices two of the characters in in
the Garbage Power Kids movie. Can you believe that? That is a fun
fact that I did not know? So, I mean, we didn't plant
that. He does nat nerd and he does the guy that thinks he's like
travolto that guy in the Garbage Power Kids. Jim comes with his voice,
Oh my gat, my gat, They'll depended on my gat on that not
just like he's he's got peoples and ship. It's one of the worst movies
of all time. I'm sure Jim got a nice paycheck for it. It's
yeah, speaking of worst movies of all time, Mac and Me, my
friend bought The Blue River from the States because he can't get available here.
It's one of those things to suggest to Umbrella, I reckon Mac and Mee
would do well for like. It's got a cult following now. Mac and
Me and I watched it and I go to Nicola. I know this movie
is terrible, but I've got such a nostalgia for it, and I worked
at what it is I think that I love the most. It's the score.
Alan Silvestri does the does the score for it? Right? That guy
does good music. It does Avengers, he does what does he does iconic
themes. Right. Yeah, he's done a lot of stuff for robertson mechis.
Yes, so he does the score for it, and I went onto
the score on YouTube to listen to it, and someone had to comment on
again YouTube comments. Someone had to comment saying, I want to watch the
movie that Alan thought he was scoring because the score is so great for Mac
and Me, but the movie not great. Right. I love it because
I love it when I was a kid, a nostalgia for it. But
the music in Mac and Me, I recommend check it out that just the
final track on the Macame score on YouTube. Listen to it and prove me
wrong. Tell me that it's bad. It's not. It's great. Yeah,
you've made a very persuasive case for it, speaking of movies that are
bad. But I'm still never gonna watch Macais. You have to do it
at least once. Won't do it? Why? Why? Because you persuade
to be with that Ale Savestry also did the theme for Back to the Future,
Yes, which is we talk about iconic. That's iconic. Yes,
speaking of the unified theory of full Finger discount. That's the other thing I
watched on the weekend. It's on Apple TV. It's called still a Michael
Jack Fox movie. Have you seen this one? No? How is it
new? It's relatively new. Wow? Okay, yeah, documentary about Michael
jeffsh documentary. Okay, yes, I get it now, Yeah, sort
of the title makes sense now, yeah, going through his whole life also
is just diagnosed with Parkinson's and his current life with Parkinson's and his family.
It's very good, very very brave man, very brave man. Oh absolutely,
And I mean it's very unflinching as well on talking about and depicting and
showing how how much of a struggle it is for him. I mean,
yeah, yet the world at his finger taps. Oh yeah. And the
documentary very very vividly expresses that he's sort of yeah, brief early phase of
like I was broken, jobless in Hollywood, and yeah, I'd sort of
cash in on and a great saying is like I was selling off my sectional
sofa until I had like one chair lift but I had a card and a
chip. No, no, no, I had a chair and a chip,
And they're like, what does that mean? It goes like I got
a chair at the table and one chip left. I'm still in the game.
Why j FOXO. Good with the aphorism. I'm stealing it. Oh
yeah, I'm definitely using that. Uh sorry, I've got one last thing
that I did like, and I like the what what they called the coast
guard guys, the navy guy. Yeah, I just called the navy guys.

name names. I was like, where's he going with this? You knew
where I was going. Now. By the way, it's hard for a
quick uncalled for unsolicited ad break. But the other day you and I were
talking about Prime Prime and I was like, what is prime? I've got
no idea what you're talking about. Turn Out it was Jake Andel Logan Paul's
hydration formula drink. All the kids are addicted to it these days and now
grown up is because they actually did to do it. No, no,
no, I haven't even tasted it yet. I haven't yet. I was
in the supermarket, yeah, passing by a special scan because I'm always looking
to see it much cheap. Guess what was cheap crime? Was it?
Really? Oh? Yeah, there was this and there was like blueberry favorite.
This is meta moon flavor. This is going to be a test tasting,
taste testing. Yeah, there's absolutely going to be a taste test.
What flavor is? Zach? Feel free to edit this out, but this
looks like watery come this, it's metal moon flavor. And meta Moon.
But what's the actual what that makes sense to me? What's meta moon?
Par Yeah? What a time to be alive. It's about moon milk on
the Simpsons. We're talking about this Star Wars drinking milk milk and the cans
blue milk. But I do know that in thirty years time, kids are
gonna find it and go meta Moon. What a time to be alive.
Yeah, if they have podcasts thirty years from now, you're gonna have Dandling
Guy version three point zero saying you know what was great was I'm going to
read this though, says here. They're gonna be using guys, old man
boys. That's that's copyrighted off Prime Hydration Meta Moon candy fruit flavor Drink with
Sweetness, Candy fruit drink with Sweetness, says here. Prime was developed to
fill the void where great taste meets function with bold first quenching flavors to help
you refresh, replenish, and refuel. Prime is the perfect boost for every
endeavor. We're confident you'll love it as much as we do. Humbly the
Prime team. Holy shit, the copywriter's put a bit of sass on that
one. You ten percent coconut water in this b vitamins. Seamen, that's
seaman, I know what you drink. I love that they have spent seven
lines big upping themselves and big uping their their beverage. Humbly the Prime team.
You have to you have to taste testing now. Humility is not part
of the Pool brand. No, not at all. Here, Jakendel logan,
if you want to come on the show, let's have a chat and
actual here taste test of Meta moon Pie Prime drink. Here we go,
goes flashbacks to his youth. Oh man, you can smell it? Really
that you don't if I hold you close? Yeah, you little can't smell
it all the sweetness and candy candy fruit flavor, sweetness plus sweetness. There
we go. It's happening, it begins. Look it to your veins.
That is literally dissolving the teeth in my mouth. It is incredibly sweet.
Yeah, that's what they said my friends who are hooked it like it's like
drinking syrup. Do you want to try a litit? Yeah? Why not,
let's do it. It's incredibly candy flavored. Okay, oh cheap is
it feels like you're drinking cordial without water in it. Yeah, that's not
quite that bad. But it's like you haven't put it enough water in the
cordial. Yeah, it needs another couple of goes with the tap. But
I'm guessing, Oh man, can you imagine, like you've you've done your
burn, you know, you put in the hours at the gym. What
are the calories in this and this is how you hydrate? Has it got
so it's a calorie for using twenty five calories. It's just all the sweet
It must just be full of sweetness. So it's calorie freeze. It's like
basically like pepsi max essentially, so sugar in it. It's just all sweetness.
See that's where they're getting. There's no sugar in it, but there's
all sweetness. I mean, I think I prefer sugar too. I want
to like sweetness. I would feel sick if I drank a who bottle of
that. Oh thank god. Yeah, I've had like I took three regular
gulps. I could see how people could get addicted to that. Though.
Oh yeah, it does taste like candy, but it's a little bit too
thick for me, as some would say. Indeed, this is according to
the bottle not suitable for children under fifteen years of age, pregnant or lactating.
She should only hang on well, the kids should only be used under
medical or dietetic supervision. My friends? Is that for pregnant women? For
everybody? I don't know. My friends have a I think it's a ten
year old, as six year old and a three year old and they're all
drinking it? Are they the size of that? But Simpson all over there,
which is fucking huge? That's that's that's from that giant Bart Simpson from
the movie from the fucking huge store from the movie Display Simpson's movie, can
You So that's the what I always tell you about where I could have bought
who set for eight hundred bucks with the backdrop and everything and that Nicholas like
you don't need it, and I'm like, ah, I guess you're right.
I really would have liked to show we've had no room for it and
our selves for twenty five thousand dollars. So I guess you won that,
right, Well, you lost that. I lost it. I can't hanging
over her head forever. You lost the battle, but you won. They
won that war. Okay, I'm not going to be drinking anymore, no
more, no more. Indeed, maybe different flavorul be better, but I
think that's just like drinking non water down cordial. Yeah, meta, Moon
met the Moon met to Moon par Yeah, I'm gonna I'm going to slip
at the holly and yeah, she's going to be dancing off the walls from
the next two days. Should we just skip trivia or just do you like?
One question is could we go for like thirty minutes already? We have?
We have, but I don't think. I don't think there's a whole
lot in the episode to discuss. Yeah, true, okay, all right,
but we'll do the trivia real quick. Next question, you there eating
the base. Hit me with your first question. The containers has how many
convenient locations? According to Homer no idea five. My first question is what
are the ingredients of prime? I need to find prime candy flavored water?
Candy flavored water would swept with sweetness. My first real question is what did
Homer eat after making love to March for the first time and almond paste in
it? Yeah, it was a bear claw claw? Well done? Is
a beg claw like a croissant? I mean it's a pastry of some kind,
right, yeah, I'm envisially just like a claw. The claw the
most memorable bit from the Jim carry Lay film, the Claw and the blippers
at the end, although also the incredibly racist bit from Gets Smart, Not
the Not the Claw to go Home and which Get Smart and Revenge of the
Notes bear Claw. You say dessert, right, or maybe pastry pastry bear
claw pastry. No, it's kind of like a croissant. It's got like
the is it yogurt on top? Ranola and yogurt? It looks like it.
Guess it feels very can anyway, is it my turn to ask you
a question? Ah? Yes? What was the ratio of votes in the
Millhouse bart cool off that was on the front page of the school seventy three
twenty seven? That is right? Stuck with me, alrighty. My next
question for you is what did the sign at the weddings say? Oh?
Man, I thought it was funny at the time, or maybe I didn't
do not kick sea turtles? Do not kick sea turtles. Yeah, that's
not funny at all. No, apparently I saw this thing on time for
what guys are on Twitter? I saw this on Twitter the other day,
Like this segment genuinely needs its own intro, you say every single episode,
that's my to it. There was footage of like a little crab scuttling along
the beach and picking up in its claws like a baby sea turtle and running
off with it, and the caption was you were not legally allowed I've seen
this to rescue the baby turtle. Yeah, but I would Would you do
it? Though? It was kind of like that the test at the startup
Blade Runner, Yeah, where it's like that turtles lying in his back.
Why turning it over? I don't know, Leon, you tell me,
I'm gonna shoot you. Spoilers blad run. I was like, wait a
minute. Turtles are like, you know, cool eternal cruises, they live
forever. Yeah, cruise in the ocean, just chilling. But you saving
that turtle. That's gonna be one hundred years of a life right the meanwhile,
crabs, beady eyed, litchy love, raffian monstrosities. Turtle. I
think there was something else. It was like a bird or something just trying
to get the baby turtle. And it's like, would you say it?
I think everyone's gonna say yes, everyone's going to say the turtle people like
turtles. Yes, they have no enemies besides the hair. That's even then
that's a haus fault. That's a friendly rap. That that's respect among competitors.
Is a time to ask you a question? Yes, okay, this
is very obvious, but what is the commendation for a full body jukebox?
Slam? Oh no, I did not write this down. I knew you
might have put this ab up left trigger, right trigger, both triggers.
That's how I used to play like Tech in the more to Combat. I
would push those things not realizing I'm doing it. You just mashed the pad.
Yeah, that's the best thing about those old old school arcade games,
just mashing and eventually you'd pull something off and you go. I meant that.
Should we do a gaming podcast called mash the Pad? Of course we
should mash the pod. We just came up with. This is the the
brains are working over time. Let's google this again, starting way to any
new podcast here. Wouldn't you love it if mashed pod is one, mash
the Pod is not one, Let's do it. It's just us terrible at
video games. But it could be a podcast though, because it's a visual
thing, there should be like a page on Google when you try to type
in a podcast already taken stupid? What were you thinking? Or as if
a funny meme of The Simpsons? Because I just watched The Acolyte, the
first episode, the pilot, some would say, because I thought we might
be able to tackle the pilot episode of The Acolyte for our new TV launch
pod podcast, which we kick off with Bob's Burgers. And we won't reveal
the second one yet because i'm't sure where people can to listen to this first
or whatever. But we're recording our second one tomorrow, which is very exciting.
But The Acolyte has a segment opening like exterior shot of is a coruscan
coras scant coruscand coruscand and it comes up saying Correscent and then it's like Star
Wars fans, it's end or I didn't think it was the Death Star.
But the thing is, though I watched it and I went, I didn't
know what it was, but still hardcore Star Wars fans probably would have gone
the but I would who has memories of the prequels. I don't fucking know
what always places look like anymore. Yeah, I probably could not pick Coras
scant from They all looked the same to me in those prequels. Yeah,
all right, I'll hit you one more question and we'll get into our review
of a Little Off for Millie. Sure, easy. One. Teacher's name,
the rope climbing teacher? Oh was it? Mister Johnson Johnson? Just
the basic name. There we go, mister Johnson, mister Johnson. I'm
dad. I don't know how we said it like that. I don't think
that's an actual thing. Well, oh my god, no, but the
missus dances and mister Janson, I just thought you were doing cartman probably miss

All right, so the episode kicked up. Sorry. The original air
date of Little Ulfa Millie was November eleventh, two thousand and seven. Production
Coach jab F two two, written by Mick Kelly, It's newer namer and
directed by Lance Kramer. The chopboard gag. There is no such thing as
an ipodty iPods one of the most glows borious inventions of all time. And
I'm sad that they're gone. But they're not needed anymore, I guess not.
They're really not. I myself for when I like to go out and
get my steps up. I have invested in a little MP three player.
You mentioned this because I don't want to take the phone. Yeah. Yeah,
the phone's a little bit too heavy. I can get one of those
things you put in your sleep, but then you look like a douche.
Yeah uh. And the wireless headphones connect to the phone sometimes you're going to
get breakouts. I want a cord. I want something that just plays a
chord, Okay, I want something to plays music and podcasts. Yeah.
I used to get so annoyed with the chord because I'd be running and it
would like yank. I had my iPod in my pocket and was like,
yank it out of my ears all the time. I don't run fast enough
for that. But I did not get this gag. The mosest thing is
an ie potty? Is it meant to eye potty? Oh maybe yeah,
I go potty potty? Oh yeah, yeah, I guess that's it.
Yeah. But the couch over the family appears on the cover of Modern Couch
Gag magazine. I thought the intro here was different. I'm not sure we
ever had this if they all spoke, they did. You heard various comments
from the various springfieldings. Yes, but skateboarded pass are you're testing something out
here? I don't know you heard a little something. Did you hear something
from Lisa as she left? You know she was playing the blue She was
just playing music. I'm pretty sure. But Bart laughed as he left.
But you had like every time but we go past somebody in the street,
that street scene. Yes, wow, yeah, they'd say something. I
thought. I don't think wow. I don't think we've ever had this before,
right, not to the best of my do sometimes skip the intro,
so we may have had it. I'm guilty of it. When I'm it's
only when I'm doing the reviews, I'll skipped the intro and I'm like,
I've got funk all time. Well, we've got so many intros where it
just goes from the Simpsons to straight into it, straight into it. I
felt it's been the full I felt they're running on fumes a bit, and
they're like, let's just pad this out with an intro. Everybody likes padding.
I mean, it makes sense though, why they made the intro so
long in the first place. And well, the Simpsons the first show to
make an intro sort of like a gag in itself with the couch gag and
the chop board gag. Did intros ever exist like that pre Simpsons? I'm
going to confidently say no, okay, even though I'm probably wrong, and
that's that. The episode kicks off though, with what misson evis? Can
you remember the par picnic? What the park picnic? The park picnic?
That's correct. I have gotten my note to here. I've got a space
where it's like I think I was going to write something down, but then
I wrote down the next thing. Okay, it's just shiny out the window
and you got distracted. That's probably correct. It's basically, there's a bee
on Maggie that the van Houten's and the Simpsons a having a picnic in the
park. That's what I was going to write down. I thought this was
actually a pretty funny gag that Homer does. Nothing adds up to the story,
but it's just this would be funny to put in there. It is.
Yes, I'm a sort of he jumps up, his head goes into
a bee high. Maggie had the b on her, so he goes,
stands up and his head goes into the high. Yes. Then he rolls
up in the blueberries first, blueberries first, and then the picnic picnic rug.
Yes, and Marge thinks and he's mocking here and he looks like Madge.
Yes, and he's going because he's been bitten by bees. Yeah,
but again, one of these things are putting your hat on a hat.
I don't think you needed Marge saying, don't make fun of me at things.
Just have them next to each other and have him going. Just have
herko. Yeah, she'ld have to explain it. Yeah, I didn't have
to explain it. Yeah, we're smart people. Yeah, maybe we're not.
Maybe maybe maybe we're not shit, is it possible we're stupid. I
think there's probably a big chance that we're all fucking idiots. Oh man.
Yeah. Kirk though, announces that they're going to be getting remarried, and
I'm just like, that's nice, nice, nice for Millhouse at least anyway
we kind of get it. We get a couple of metag gigs here.
So this one here, your brother, Assistan, because you look awful lot
of each other, like each other. So many Simpsons fans always went why
they look exactly the same, like no other couples in the Simpsons look the
same. But these guys were drawn. It's like, are they related?
The Millhouse is going to stop being used as a porn now in their fights,
and they break into a little bit of a scrubble and he uses a
porn? Did your father say that? But now in your family again,
you can stop lying. Then Homer is picking out the tie for the wedding.
Any twenty minutes to get there? You're running it a bit bit fine
there, absolutely, but Mars suggests the one the same color of my eyes,
and Homer cannot remember what color that is. I just love that.
Yeah, it's beautiful. The color while played by Homer. But you know,
if you have seen Gone Girl, I have seen it. I remember
one particular scene that I remember a lot. There's a great bit in it
where you Ben Affleck is sort of the prime suspect and the disappearance possibly murder
of his wife. He's been grueled by this female cop who's, you know,
asking all his questions about how well he really knows his wife. What's
her wives blood type? And he's like, Sergeant Benson, yeah, and
then no one knows that. After after that's what the cop step. He
goes, am, I supposed to know my wife's a blood type? Do
you guys know? Although they slipped in humor into a serious scene now yeah
yeah. But then and he says, I don't know you eye color.
I just judge people with the color of their skin. I thought I thought
it was quite but Marge Lee's basically Blanche's covering her ash. Shees I'm not
gonna let you see my eye color too. You can remember what color they
are. Now at the wedding, Love Joyce's randomly giving them sass, yeah,
yeah, what's going on here? And Homer using the word spaz I
wasn't so sure about I thought, I'm not showing why you'd use that anymore.
The words spaz we we used to say all the time, but now
we're more learned and we go, you know what, that's probably not a
nice term to use. Well, even beyond saying Lizigo called out for using
this particular term okay yeah by a young Australian woman. Apparently, well you
shouldn't use it. In my opinions, it's not nice. But basically he's
giving him a sass. He's reading out the early drafts of the vows.
Eventually it says, you know, just to say yes, I do whatever.
Make it quick, because the seagulls are in the orders, and apparently
they're made of seagull meat. See in a weak milhouse. How fun at
the Simpsons. If you don't like missus Simpson's cooking, you have your mummy
meals? I got them. Why does every kid who stays with us bring
meals? Put pineapple on my potato salad? Little letter? I remember I
was a kid. If I said at my friend's house, I was like,
oh man, cook that as good as my men's. Oh yeah,
what is it about you? Is it just because you're used to it as
a kid. It's just because she's humor. Yeah. No, I think
it's also familiarity. This is the first time we've had a gag that says
that Marge is cooking isn't good? By the way, well, it's extremely
experimental. I mean, I'm sorry I went full full Greta Gutenberg when she
said, you put pineapple and potato salad? How dare you? Yeah,
I don't think you do pineapple and anything? Not great? No, No,
I've seen pineapple, pineapple and pizza. No, yes, really,
okay, what about well, I mean not on every pizza, but what
about you get a burger from the shop chicken sits or burg and they put
a slice of pineapple on it. I went to the roadhouse and they said
chicken sets and burgers come with pineapple. And they always asked do you want
pineapple and no pineapp because I think it's a it's a very divisive thing.
They always got no pineapple, thank you. Yeah, I think that's a
that's a very special that's the tropical chicken per if I wanted that, I
ask for the tropical Yeah, but the standard chicken setzelburger, Chicken City at
the at the roadhouse, delicious burger without the pineapple. It's at the supermarket
the other day and I picked up two pineapple items. I mean, I
got this sort of and it gets pineapple like spiced pineapple cocktail mixer. I'm
like, I don't if I'm gonna have this with any booze or anything like
that. But I had a splashed to my mineral water give it a tropical
zing. And also a candy bar called Perky Nana. Never heard of it,
yeah, from our friends at Cadbury, friend of the pod. So
I don't like the pineapple lollies either, do you like? I think I
like pineapple lollies more than I like actual pineapple. Do you really? And
I like actual pineapple. There's three lollies that I just there's three that I
never liked as a kid. There was the Pineapple ones. It was I've
never had a mint ones, but it wasn't. I was thinking that I
was seeing a bottle of milk bottles didn't like. I didn't like pineapples,
and I didn't like the teeth, but I love the teeth now I can
live without the teeth. But the other two like all top five? What
about black cats for you do you have black nag and live with that.
Yeah, they kind of. They live a really sort of lasting tasty mouth.
I don't know the black cat. I love strawberries and cream. Oh
they're delicious, aren't they really like those as a kid either, but they're
so good. Yeah, milk bottles, bananas. I was very big on
ah, but is a the worst one? Man? I like bananas.
They're chewy and sock eating wet chalk. Yeah. I think they're known as
mates now, but we used to call them cobbers speck in the days,
little chunks of caramel with chocolate. I don't know those on It's pretty nice,
you know what I miss? What do you miss? Fantaales? Why
did they? Cobbers were not unlike fantaales? So people apparently they I thought,
I think there's a bit of a conspiracy here, right, it's Allan's
that do fan taels. They said, we're taking fantalos off the shops because
no one's buying them anymore. And I'm like, you know what, I
always fucking buy fantaales. You're going to take them away for a year or
two and then bring them back limited yeahah, limited edition for a limited time
only. Fantastes of returning. I know for a fact you're going to do
that. They did this with pollwaffle, yeah they did. Yeah, And
I bought like a little bag of those poly waffle bites and I was like,
oh, that was really great. This is fine. Yeah, it
was like the dog in the burning room. This is fine. I do
love the fantaso fantasts. I do love them. But the thing is,
I remember they did this with barbecue shapes. They took away barbecue shapes,
and I'm like, all the shape flavors you're taken away barbecue? Are you
fucking mad? I'm not. I'm a slavery shapes guy, Okay, have
been since day one. Savory is like eating original chips. Though I'm original,
Dana. Sometimes you know very different people when you think of shapes,
though, what's the flavor you think of it? The most famous is barbecue,
right, I tend to think savory. That's but again, that's what
we had when I was a kid. I see, I didn't realize shapes
have been round for that long. That's so sincere. It's not untrue.
But they're camping in the land room was the kitchen. That's a landrum fireplace.
Yes, I just liked this setting. It's like, you know,
home is telling stories, having a good time to sleep over, good fun.
That's way this day. You never see a shark with monkey arms.
Great story, mister Simpson. But why do all your bedroom stories have commercials
in them? For the Container store? Because if I do it enough,
maybe does start to pay me? Sleep tight the Continuer store now at five
convenient locations. Why don't we sell a product place in our stories? We
should? Good idea home? Yeah, oh oh in our store. You're
talking about people in general opposed to us. I think I'm selling it all
the time. This story is brought to you by this anecdote is brought to
you by Millhouse. He's happy every day now and he's going to dream about
waking up because you can't wait another another day. And it's just doesn't seem
happy, actually happy setting the alarm in his dreams. Yeah. Now,
meanwhile, they're about to get it on Kirk and land on the ship and
this time carrying you over the threshold. But unfortunately they just slide away,
so they sort of lose the balance. Yeah, and go overboard, and
he says that you nibbling my knee reminded me of that film Open Water terrifying,
terrifying. Yes, I have sharks. Is that the scariest besides your
scariest shark movie you can remember? Not jump scared, just putting yourself from
that experience. I was very partial to the shallows. Yeah, by yourself,
yes, yeah, but at least you was somewhat close to shore.
These guys are lost in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight
and the idea of well, we're probably being left behind. Now, that
does suck. I think being that close to shore and like, oh,
but I can't make it as like, oh no, you're just rubbing salt
in the wounds, which is appropriate because I'm in salt water. Might watch
a shark movie on the weekend, watch Free under Paris. Yeah. Whereas
some people call it shark the Triumph, I coveted on it saying yeah,
the giant CG shark. Yeah yeah, and people in the comments as dragged
you did that. One person, Well, I think it was more iron
than anything. It's like it's less shark though. Yeah, I know.
That was my my Facebook frend film, Very Clever Guy. Under under Paris
was actually pretty good. Okay, it was more like deep Blue Sea than
you might imagine. Really, I think you might enjoy it was was it
physical? Was an actual physical shark at any point? Was it all c
G? I? If it was CG, it was very good CG.
Really, okay, I may check it out. It's all subtitle right French
film? Yeah, you can probably you know, watch an English dub version.
But instead do you watch oh ship? Now? Now what a shark
in French? Then? Do you know? Shark? As long as you
say it like that shick? But but Millhouse they find an animal whole.
I don't know what kind of hole this what animal this whole belongs to?
So they put the water in to find out, and it's Trancelors and yeah,
I like the baby burps a lot and things like that, and Millhouse
says, ain't care my parents ever come back and having so much fun.
Cut to the festival cruise lines arriving in a very saving, proper Ryan parody.
It's got the what is that music? I'm not sure, but it's
you know, it's the mournful you know you don't want that music playing?
Yeah, So it reminded me of what was the film Oh We watched the
latter forty nine recently forty nine its stars Junker Build. I'm like, Dad,
it's a fair we're gonna put the bear out. Spoiler alert for the
not actual dialogue that there's a scene in the film where a similar kind of
thing with seven part Ryan here, where they they rock at the door to
say, look, this is it. And throughout the film they've been sort
of saying I never want to see that car, all right, And then
she looks at the window and sees that can and it's like, I did
not think this film is going to end this way. How fucking depressing.
Yeah, it's been a while since is it Jakin who dies? Yeah?
Yeah, spoiler that's twenty five years up. But yeah, I was like,
we've been watching this entire film. It's like I was going to get
out and then he doesn't. You're like, ah, that's sad, but
I guess realistic because things don't always go your way. But now the festival
cruise lines have come to say that the parents are lost at sea, and
bart Spray's millhouse with some water says drown you whatever, who died? And
my parents obviously well apparently or something like that. You have my parents are
last year? See are you going to find him? We'll try, but
have you ever been to this sea? It's huge and we have to search
all of them because they are, you know, connect. But the Simpsons
then say, you can stay here until you're back on your foot. Where's
he gonna good? Where else is he going to go? You can stay
here. I'm not going to go home. But he says you can have
a bedtime an hour later, so you can have some alone time with your
thoughts. If I were writing this episode, I would perhaps add a little
element of not like a ticking clock kind of thing, where what's the episode
you've got? Stupid babies need the most attention. You need human service to
come in and say, Okay, we're gonna take bart to the We're going
to take real hoouse to the orphanage. Yeah, oh, we're gonna have
to find like his last living relative or something like that, which sends bart
On a quest to find who what's his name is? Zach? Yeah,
well not really Zach. He's Haid another name. We'll get to it,
but yeah, he's the cool uncle uncle. Yeah, I'm surprised I didn't
try and find his next closest relative anyway, he's got a grandma. Maybe
she's gone, who knows anyway, Not these guys that would ruin the story
they trying to tell you, such as it is. Yes, the next
thing is the breakfast. See when home is going through all the various names
that are ocean related. Hey, come on, why don't you cheer up
with a glass of ocean spray? Oh oh boy, forget that. How
about some captain crunch. It's seven seas Italian dressing, No, No Chicken
of the Sea, tunic CA, the Ocean CD, the history of Atlantic
records stop meaning things. Won't you but a cat and got a mouse?
Good idea, I'll drown my sorrows and anchor steam beer. I'm sorry,
I woo again though it's fine, it's funny, but I've had it before
neuro times this season already. And Marge says, you know, there's always
hope. I like this. I always hope they can find them. I'm
just letting you guys know that we stop looking again. It's one of those
guys that if you had it in Golden age, Simpson to be like,
that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, but then let's millhouse. We'll try
to let him win the video game fight, but he doesn't want to.
Now what is this game? What is bar bar all for? Final fracas?
According to fah, yeah, already enough pain in this world. Let's
just pay the checking. Go And I was like, that's a really depressing
line. And then he pays the check in the game, like it sounds
like you're saying, let's just end it all. Let's just like take our
own life. Life's good enough. Pay Let's just pay the check and go.
And I was like, holy shit, how morbid. And then he
pays the check. It's a really good I mean, not to get terribly
morbid, but say you've got a diagnosis, a terminal diagnosis, and you
were going to announce it on social media. I think opening up would saying
like, oh, time to pay the check, Like what a cool dude.
The great singer songwriter Warren Zevon, when he knew that he was dying,
he named his last album my Rides Here. I think, if I
know that I'm going to die, that's what I'm going to start the Facebook
post of where I announced by emminent demands, Like well, well am I
right? Yeah? So cool, that's very very cool and this is the
sort of the first glimpse at Millhouse being millihouw, yeah, cool Millhouse.
Maggie then offers Milhouse's bottle, you could use it pick me up. Then
he sees his reflection and he realizes that, you know, he's become a
big baby. Can't drink his movie out of a barber barba what he calls
it. I believe so yes, And he realized he needs he's alone now,
he needs to be a man sent look after himself. Homer. Meanwhile,
I was looking for the wedding Memories book to try and see Marge's eyes.
Then no other photos around the house. I just just dawned on me.
Well that's the thing. When she covered all the when he was looking,
I'm like, why aren't you looking for a photo? And then of
course they got to the Yeah, as she covered all the photos. How
she covered all the photos? I don't know anyway, but like the what's
the code our anniversary? Like yeah, that works that, Like that feels
like classic Simpsons kids are now plays the way, did you see what were
the numbers that the thing was actually on? It was twenty eight twenty something.
He had forty forty That means thing. I don't know. I think
everything means something. There means something in this episode, I don't know it
does it? I don't know? Okay, does it? Do you tell
me? I think it's just you know, when you put the cord and
it's just sort of you split it around. I was just trying to psych
out there. So then the kids are playing marbles at school and they see
Millhouse in the shadows. At least it's taken the back, and do you
have a marble guat it was a marble guy. Yeah. I love them.
I used to get the big bags of them. Yeah. We had
a brief phase when I was when I was very young, Jack's got in,
Jacks came back. Jacks came back. Yeah, they had little eyeballs
on them instead my little characters. And then they went out and Yoyos came
back. For a minute it was Jack's. No, I was I thinking
knuckles Knuckles are different, right? I think no? I think the knuckles
and Jacks Knuckles is another name for Jack's, is okay? Yeah, cause
I think they caught him knuckles in the nineties, not Jack's, because I
believe the original Jacks were made out of like knuckle boones. Really, OK,
that makes sense. They used to look like nothing. You just try
and catch them on your knuckles. It was a good game. But after
about five minutes you're like, yeah, I'm do this. I'm gonna go
play video games. Wait a minute, they're not invented yet, so it
would be a good Simpsons gag. That's because steal video game. Wait a
minute, that invented. I mean, it's stupid, but it would work.
I got to do my Homer flashback up. I got to do the
stand up stand up coming. Yeah, I'm glad that you explained to the
listeners what you were doing there before you did it, because they'd be like,
why is it signed for five seconds? It's because guy's gone, eh,
we're gonna we're pivoting the video here. Nelson makes fun at least for
knowing Millhouse, and then it makes fun of him saying your mum said glug
gluck, and I was like, holy ship, Yeah that's cold. Yeah,
that is cold blood. My Mielhouse doesn't give a ship. Tears would
cleanse my soul. Least is like, oh my god, I brief,
Oh my god. That's become our recurrent gag. Now, yeah, we
were doing well for a second, had come up with new gags for the
Simpson and then all of a sudden, we're just reverting to Oh, Southark,
wasn't it the South voices? Oh my god, I got mister kat
I'm a goat Jimmy though it's all right, I mean, come on,
come man, all right, Lisa thinks he's brave beat me up there.
Maybe I'll feel something. Oh if I saw a kid says at school,
I'll probably go, what a bad He's not scared of being beaten up on
my and Nelson in return doesn't want to beat him u because there's no point.
It's like that's how you get bullies, no reaction. It's like,
I'm a bit of a guy who wants to be beaten up. This isn't
fun. I would have applaud a kid if you did this at school.
It is not just reverse psychology. Is the jiu jitsu, throw it down
flip and reverse psychology. That's great because some kids might say that and then
when they have a fist in their face, so you go, oh,
actually, he's like, no, do it. And then then Nelson's like,
oh, well okay, I won't then, but Lisa then holds his
hand and he's too numb to feel anything, and Lisa thinks it's so poetic,
and Bart says, you know, he's happy to see him get some
hand in hand action, he thinks, but he thinks that he's still the
cool kid. And meanwhile, Nelson says, wait till lunchtime. Even Ralph
won't sit with Bart. You're just embarrassing yourself. You're embarrass yourself, and
everyone invites Milhouse to their place after school. If you're a fan of everything

gave a reason to have the family involved and didn't feel like we're comming back
to the Simpson We're coming back to the Simpsons because Milhouse was living with them.
So he gets off the bus at their house. Lisa is just in
love with him. Now the boys all want to you know, he says,
I'm going to walk alone. The boys saying, oh my god,
that's great. And he's like, I'm going to work some stuff out.
And the girl's like, oh my god. I never forget when Elliott came
home from daycare, right, and so how's the day he goes good?
Henry was sad though. I said, oh, oh was it? What?
What was Henry saying? He guess he's going through some stuff. You're
four? What stuff are you going through? You know? It's just he's
going through some stuff. You can't make that up. It's like when I
had just met Lou this was five years ago, and her young her younger
son Felix was getting like a big game out of the fridge or something,
and he opened it's five o'clock somewhere. Kids are amazing. Some ship the
Holy a new thing now is here. We say, sounds good. She
has good sounds. Do you want to go to the shop. Yeah?
Good sounds to steal my co hosting role on the podcast and coming up with
Zingers know she's not We sawry before earlier she came in, she got shit
scared. Whether it was the camera or you, I'm not too sure it
was, but yes, Millhouse. You know he wants to be alone,
he's gonna work some stuff out. But then does the crump. Everyone thinks
it's ridiculous, the Marshes. I'll come with your honey, and we get
the iconic Marsch crump dance. The crumb dance itself not so iconic, but
just there's a visual of Marshal like leaning down. You see that. A
lot of Simpsons memes we come up from commercial Partsi's Millhouse now is more popular
than have He's more popularan him in the school paper. It used to be
a comic figure. Now he's a tragic one. And Homer says, stop
speaking your thoughts out loud, which was a metagag because why do people do
sometimes watching TV shows and I'm like, why are you talking to yourself?
Why are you saying all these things? I'll coop it out, read your
mind, And then of course Homer then says, now what to do about
marsh but then calls the uncle in Solvang. Solvang. Yeah, yeah,
California. I need to look this up. Actual place, not for sure,
because they're very specific with the gags. Yeah, it felt like very
Simpsons go somewhere gay, didn't it? But he gives in Danish butter cookies
at Christmas time and you get that. A little bit of Denmark in the
California East Coast sounds about whatever the Californi Coaster it's like. In South Australia,
there's that either German place Berenberg that that it's not called that thoughts of
h the actual name for it. Oh yeah, but I mean that the
strip it's all German shops, that what you're talking about. Yeah, it's
not even a strip. It feels like an actual town or suburb like that
place that that's Flannders went to that time, the place he went to and
everyone was all happy and nice and you didn't like it there? Oh that's
right, German street. It was h Yeah, Harndorf. Yeah. I
did a road trip to Adelaigh once and near stopped off in Harndorf and I
did have Did you order it like that? Please state the premises on your
only card Or kicking his chemicals. Please, they're using snaz he fun boys
off to Let's just do it? Was real, It was really nice.
The brad first or handleff the handle. Yeah, it feels like but you're
there for like half down and you're like, I'm done, I'm done.
Yeah, I've got all the I've got my old the verse I need.
Well, that's the Can I make a terrible joke? I was driving to
Adelaide. Should you reckon this joke? Yeah? Oh yeah, no,
no it's not. It's not a bad joke in terms of tasteless. It's
not going to be getting me cancels. It's just it's just a dad joke.
Okay, I love that joke. Yeah. Well, I was driving
to Adelaide and I saw the sign for handorf IoT. It was a bit
hungry, so I took a turn for the worst. It should be a
tour for the first right. Not explaining what's it called Solvang City in California
actual place? That was straight up a gag you get out of the Christmas
bomb bomb thing. Solvang is a city in southern California's Santa Inez Valley.
Okay, sorry about that. Lotsos pronunciation. It is known for his Danish
style architecture and many wineries. Sounds all right, But meanwhile, those at
the airport wedding for Norbert, and we get gay lord q tinkledink and I
was like, well, we couldn't go and up over there a gay joe
kill me? No, not at all. Norbert then flies in in his
own plane. Nobbitt's his name, but call him Zach much called the Norbert,
and he's doing he's doing like cool turns and in his biplane. I
felt very The story felt very slight grounded and believable to an extent. And
this guy is coming into someone like this just feels like so like random in
this story, That's what I mean. It's like, let's get silly.
He's a cool guy that flies his own planes and doesn't care. He's playing
blows up and I was like, what, Yeah, it's just we're abandoning
reality. And he wasn't even a guest star. That's true, I'm guessing.
I don't know. Well, he's brought in this character for for some
random reason anyway, But then because the whole and then Danish not Dutch,
I couldn't I didn't get it. No, I don't take any start.
I was like, Hamlet, difference is there between Danish and large don't know,
probably a lot to them. I imagine I'm gonna we're gonna have a
lot of Danes and Dutch people. Well, let me explain, yes,
cracks knuckles. But Zach arrives at the school, Millhouse says, I don't
need you. I don't need you, and no, I sees you've shed
your Dutch ways and become a true Dane. And so I just don't get
They keep going with the Dutch and Danish game. Yeah. Tell you what
though, in a nice sort of united unified theory of fourthing a discount money,
we're going to be talking about Terrence Philip behind the blow episode of Going
down to South Park, which we're going to record after this. What is
Philip appearing in in that episode? Hamlet aka the Dane. Yeah, we
didn't prepare this. This would preclude us preparing anything. Didn't happen. No
notes, no notes, Millhouse, there's someone who wants to see you,
uncle, Zack Millhouse. Your parents may be gone, but I'm here for
you now. Well, I don't need you. I've learned to take care
of myself. I see you've become quite a young man, self reliant,
mature, you've shed your Dutch ways and become a true day But perhaps you're
not too cool to give your uncle a hug. I promise you won't be
alone anymore, son, And that takes care of that man. No,
he's even more popular. He's troubled, but I can save him all for
crying out loud. This was a nice moment here with Millhouse though, because
he's trying to act tough. You know, this isn't the real Millhouse,
but he's putting on this strong sort of exterior. But then he promises,
you know, won't be a larone anymore, son, and just brings him
into a Millhouse sort of like cracks and just he's a big cut on.
He's like, okayed, I need some sort of support. Homer is,
then we haven't actually seen Millhouse sad about his parents, like actually weep.
That's he's clearly sad, but it's such a bone deep sadness. So it's
manifesting itself as this absolute distream boat. Yeah, as this moody dreamboat.
Homer's raking leaves trying to guess much's eye color things like brown orange alm Rake
guessing that's similar to what was it the Oh no, it was the the
same gag as the Wigan one. That's right, closing credits. That's the
same joke. We're for recycling planet and all that. But still but again
they closing credits. That's another one of those things where it's saying things over
just listing, listing, listing. Yeah, Grandpa, there is just randomly
there on the on them on the hammit because he has to say something here,
reminds me about the song that he wrote for Marge and uses a rate
to pretend to play the song. He remembers that Marge ever hears it,
and she reveals her hazel eyes and all as well in the world. Yeah,
happy again, Millhouse. That's a similar story to Hank Hill when he's
sang the Peaga leg song. Oh yeah, last ending that wasn't an episode
four I reckon the season one. Millhouse and Zach then arrive and the plane
blows up. Let Milhouse fly the plane. I think he didn't turn the
engine off or something. It explodes. He's happy for that. He doesn't
give a shit obviously, Rich I guess, but then asks you know why
am I annoyed at? Why my annoy about Millhouse? You know, everyone
loving him, as she explained to him, is because you miss him.
It's not jealousy. He miss him, and I actually had that my notes
at the start. I like that Bart's anger towards Millhouse wasn't and a jealousy
of him saying I want to be the cool kid. It's just he wants
Millhouse back and everyone he used to be the only one that actually likes Millhouse
and now everyone loves him. But it's not the real Millhouse, and he
knows who the real Millhouse is, and he is this Millhouse's line here,
when you're mean, I'm a trampoline. I like I would have used that
when I was a kid, when I'm when you're mean, I'm a trampoline
and bounces back and hits you. That's a Millhouse line. Skinner then says
that Millhouse is leaving just random. He's going now he's going to be going
to live with his uncle and the live via a hot air balloon, but
says, don't go. We make fun of mister Johnson that he goes into
the rope. He climbs the rope and who's up for a trip around the
world? So random. Then it just cuts to Kirk and Lewen, who
have stranded on an island that built a hang glider. They're about to fly
back to safety, and then they drive straight into the hot air balloon and
Milhous is happy that they're not going to he's going to be self religed anymore.
And Zach and Kirk fight over the term Dutchman the end. Yeah,
the last two minutes of this episode. What happened? That happened? Yeah?
What was the point of Zach? That was such a bizarre addition now
that you think about it, now that you bought it up, What was
the point of having Zach? Yeah, I don't know. From a story
stretched point of view, the only reason to have Zach was to get them
to the hot air balloon, to get them to the island, to get
the reunion. Why couldn't I have just gone to look for them again?
Why couldn't they have Why couldn't have one of the navy guys, coast Guard
guards or whatever become like a surrogate uncle. That's one is incredibly insensitive,
No, We're never gonna find him. The other one's like we could try
and help the kid out because you just know we're never gonna see Norbit again.
No random eighty five percent of this episode I really enjoyed. Upon reflection,
that addition of Zach just felt random to me. I think it's because
the Dutch Danish jokes just fell flat with me as well. Well, here's
the thing. If you make a sandwiches eighty five percent tasty ingredients and fifteen
percent dirt, genuine dirt, not even the storeboard dirt dirt. I really
taste the dirt in the sandwich. It's really messing with my mortardella experience.
What do we learn? Saw you left the episode of Davis? Uh that
in Barbaral four final for car always bet On Suit, I learned I need
to stop drinking my moomo from Holly's Bubba instead drink your meta mood from this
Why it's a good meta mood. I had no idea. Man from forward,
your names will be It's a Guy Davis New Name Championship. Currently the
board stands at this in first position, we have Adam Moorehouse and Philip Jay
Hawkins on seven points. In second position on five points, Kyle Muldoon clever
Kyle and in third position on three points, David Mott and Jared Horby take
it away with it, Davis, what do we have this week? It's
a race? Okay? One point goes to Millhouse undivided. Oh, it's
another point for mister Matt Collins puts him now on too well done, mc
Collins, Matt. Two points goes to of course, I was gonna choose
this Millhouse of Pain. I feel like you mentioned House of Pain at least
once every ten episodes. We're about yes for a shout out, So that
would be Steve Roberts. He knows you well, man, Steve. Yeah,
So Steve Robbins now and a little boar with the two points and three
points goes to three points goes to Van overboard. Ooh, interesting, so
that we now have a different second position. It's not only Clever Kyle,
it's now Jared Hornby three points there all right, Jared, Jared Odd six
points and Clever Kyle's now in a third position on five points. So outright
second is Jared Hornby. But does mean Adam Willhouse and Philip Jay Hawkins are
still in first position on seven points, just hanging on there by one point
five, six, seven, one two three. Wow, that's getting close,
all right, guys. Well that is our review of Little Orphan.

story. What who would have thought? Anyway, you guys, what do

what do you think? I think Homer becomes some sort of chef.
I would speculate that it's some kind of murder mystery. Murder mystery, Yeah,
like a Knives Out? Is that what you're feeling? Maybe you see
that they've started filming the next Knives Out seat. I haven't watched the second
one yet, that's all right, Yeah, I've heard it's fine, very
